Struggling with heart failure and OCD anxiety; seeking shared experiences.
Heart Failure with OCD
Hello, I was diagnosed with diastolic heart failure and I am also dealing with anxiety/panic attacks from OCD. I’m always worried I’m going to die, and that I can’t tell the difference between a heart attack and a panic attack. No one seems to believe that I in fact have a debilitating illness and they just blame my OCD and that I’m overreacting. I hope that is the case, but I feel like it’s more than just that. I also feel like I want to make amends with everyone in my life right now, as you never know when you’d die. The problem is, that’s just a luxury I can’t afford. Let’s just say that my brother is more than pissed off (over something that happened over 4 months ago) still, and that if I do in fact die soon, I won’t be able to have any closure. It’s the most horrible feeling ever. But I already tried to apologize to him, but it was declined. I’m wondering if anyone has had a similar situation?
